I think Vi is the best and most viable carry jungler right now. Watching xj9 enlightened me.


I cannot agree more. Watched him play. Bought Vi and started jungling on her. Every single game I do good regardless of my team and if I get fed from ganks I can nuke peope so fast.

The main issue on why a carry jungle really just wont work has everything to do with why melee carries in general tend not to work in lol.

Melee carries in Dota and LoL are only effective when they have a TREMENDOUS gold lead on every other character in the game. Its why a super farmed Yi or Trynd will still dominate a game of LoL, despite their inherent weaknesses. Its why you see AM dominate a game of Dota. He just gets so much farm so quickly that other characters cant keep up with his items (although short CD blink also helps). And pretty much every carry jungle is a melee carry.

What makes melee carries work in Dota is that it is actually possible, in any given game, to see large discrepancies in farm. In LoL, each lane will get about the same amount, and the size of the map and value of baron makes it much harder to "hide" a carry to get extra farm to the point they can bust out with a 2 item lead on the rest of the characters. So where in Dota you can just put an AM with a battle fury in the jungle and let him do his thing for 5 minutes then roll through a team, there is no way to really do that in LoL. And without an item advantage, a melee carry is just cannon fodder (see every pub underfarmed AM ever)

You're only partially right. With the way Dota was designed, there are many abilities that are ''broken''. These include AM's 40% magic resistance and 5 second blink CD, Void's 35% chance to negate ANY source of damage, 35% bash chance and a huge AoE 5 second time-stop that lets only Void move. Yi's Q, W and E are nothing in comparison. Yi's kit simply isn't made to be an AD carry, it's just a bad kit. Tryndamere's kit is much more fluidly designed but even he has nothing on Dota carries. Another big reason is the existence of Manta style, Vanguard and most importantly BKB.

This is definitely a factor, but personally I tend to believe that the farm advantage is the #1 aspect, and items/abilities fall around that as a secondary issue.

It isnt just melee characters that have "broken" abilities in Dota, pretty much every ability in Dota, if carried over, would be broken in LoL. Same goes with items. So I tend to view item/ability factors as equalizing more than anything else.

I'm pretty sure I posted in this thread why carry junglers aren't truly viable. And yes, true viability comes from actual 5's play, because the format always matches it for good reason. Professional play in all games effect the nonprofessional play.

An increase in IP for new champs?




Only for the first week or two.


Carry jungle is not viable, because the jungle farm isn't yet equal to, or greater than solo lane farm. Literally, only after that would a true "carry" jungle be viable. That is just how this game works.


No, thats not really the issue. The amount of gold in the jungle is such that it should be more than lane if you clear it well and take a small amount your lanes (seuss has blogged on it 1 2). If the jungle had equal or greater farm than lane then junglers would have access to far more farm than a laner because they can move around and be allocated farm from lanes.

The issues are the the obvious complete lack of lane support, running smite on a carry, machete being wasted cost, and the fact that all the decently fast junglers are melee and all the problems that come with melee carrying.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

I think even if you put Void + Janna against a Sona vs MF lane, Void would still get fucking smashed.

BKB is a big fucking deal for melee carries

Okay, here's my thinking guys. IF melee autoattack carries are viable, it's going to be in form of jungle Tryndamere. So if we wanna test that concept we just have to test jungle Tryndamere. Sounds legit?

That would require someone to play Tryndamere, and several others to be in the same game as him. I lodge a formal protest on moral grounds.

Jungle Trynd will never be viable in a competitive setting. Junglers are required to seize map control and gank lanes. Jungle taking so long to farm doesn't help.

Make his E faster and more responsive and we have ourselves a melee AD carry.

Can a team not build around, say... Jax as a melee carry? He has all the tools a melee carry needs (sick steroids, good base stats, mobility, durability, scales exceptionally well)

Yeah but I mean like

what's the point of having a "carry" jungler? Just pick a jungle champ and put him in the solo lane. Boom, instant carry jungler (Hecarim, Nocturne).

Pretty sure if you get the right lane and ran Cleanse on him you could make Tryndamere work. Like a year ago he actually was viable in competitive play and saw some play in top lane. He was even fotm for awhile in solo queue iirc.
